Hello,
I am fairly new to Foreman and would like some clarification to using
Smart-Proxy.
-
I have a new Foreman server running, which installed with Smart-Proxy.
-
I have an existing Kickstart server, as well as an existing Bind
server.
-
I can install foreman-proxy on both the kickstart and bind server,
and the foreman server smart-proxy can then speak to the remote kickstart
proxy, running dhcp and tftp, as well as the remote bind server smart-proxy
and can facilitate the provisioning and building of servers? Is this
correct?
I went through the process of installing foreman-proxy on the kickstart
server. I generated ssl keys on the foreman server, copied them to the
kickstart server. I updated the settings.yml file as per the manual. I
also updated the settings.d/dhcp.yml files to enable the server. It doesn't
work yet, but after a few nights of playing with it, I want to make sure I
am on the right track. e.g. There are two proxies, one is on the foreman
server, which speaks to the proxy on the kickstart server, which then
manages the dhcp and tftp services.
Thanks for any help or assistance.
Mike

Yes, that's right.

Yes, under Infrastructure > Subnets, you can then select the smart proxy
on the kickstart server as the DHCP/TFTP proxy. Hosts built with this
subnet will then have reservations/TFTP menus created on that server
using the smart proxy.
